Just how many outlets do you need for your stereo?


I am curious to know how many outlets folks use for their stereo system.  I am looking at a new power isolation, surge protector, and wondering how many outlets to specify.   It always seems there are not enough but more outlets mean more money up front.

"A 15 amp standard house outlet will supply about 1800 watts. To be conservative, say 1500 watts."  Cakyol

Should say a 15A circuit will supply 1800W.  As most circuits have a few outlets, other devices plugged in must be added into the burden on that circuit.  Should unplug those if you want to 'dedicate' the circuit to your AV system, or install a one-outlet circuit, at which point that one should be a 20A.  Why skimp--nothing should be ordinary in a high-performance system.
